<div>I'm located new Foxboro, MA</div>
<div>I have comcast digital too. ($55)</div>
<div>I can still access non-digital shows using my pvr150.<br> </div>
<div>I also use a pcHDTV5500 for DVB.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I really don't like what I see avaiable now maybe 50 "digital" stations. It seems that rabbit ears will pull in almost the same amount of shows in HD -- most of the other channels are blocked or scrambled I guess.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm looking into the option of the Firewire Port on the Motarola Box. I hear that it streams RAW MPEG. </div>
<div>Until there is a cost effective HDMI capture card we are really at the mercy of the cable companies.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I really hope that I can get the Firewrie to work though, that would allow for full spectum of channels that my cable box gets to hit my Mythtv system...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have heard that a few of us Mythtv fanatics have used this pretty successfully...</div>
